2:19I'm just trying to episode above in the bloom. Episode 383, your final. Fab preview for the 2026 fantasy baseball season, week 27 is going to be upon us on Monday. And it's a, yeah, I think about nine games, eight games left to go here. It's pretty, pretty crazy to think about across the diamond and playoff races are coming. And there's a lot of fantasy implications coming down as Dr. Starrer and I were looking at before the show. But we'll get to that. Every team schedule and much, much more. But first you can find me on Twitter at BD, enter the podcast at blah, blah, blah, blah on Patreon at patreon.com, backslash, blah, blah. And my co-host is always on Twitter at Ryan BHQ, Ryan Bloomfield. How you doing, my friend? I'm going to miss these, I'm going to miss these Fab previews. Honestly, I enjoy doing them 27 weeks. And we hit every single one this year. So kudos, I guess I all victory lap that one. Kudos to both of us for not missing anything. Kudos to anyone still listening to the week 27 Fab preview

3:22presumably. It's not because you like our voices presumably. It's because your teams are in the hunt. And number one, congratulations on that. That's a luck this final week. And number two, thanks for listening. And hopefully tonight's show helps guide you through this last week as much as it can last week's always chaos. But we'll do what we do and do what we can. Yep, we will knock it out as usual. And there's a lot of implications coming up here. Like I said before the show, Ryan and I were looking at our leagues overall standings. There's a lot of moving in the shake. And still to be done, I'm trying to hang on for dear life. Ryan is trying to punk out of first place, which looks like it won't happen. And then we got a lot of things. But pen. Honestly, I'm rooting for other Patreon folks overall teams like more than my, just because mine are, it's kind of, I don't have too much to play for. Just in terms of movement. But like, yeah, we both watched Walbert, Urania.

4:24It watches, watches win get taken away with two outs and the nine things to Ben Joyce, a homer from Walker Jenkins. And normally I would be very happy that Walbert, Urania did not get his win. But I am actually sad for Ben's main event team. But best of luck to everyone still in it. Yeah, lots of good stuff there. What up Kevin? Hey, see any's in the chat here. I heard a rumor dropping, I think it's Saturday. Kevin recorded a show with Joe Rico around fantasy pros go check that out. Always good to get the boys on the mic. So see what they got going on there. And everybody John Wilder says take notes for the first time right? Why start? Why start week 27? Why start now? This is the time to start a new process for my fab. But I still don't have a clean sheet of paper down here. That's OK. I'm going to fix that for you in Arizona. Don't you worry. Well, just bring a rim of paper. As you'll see. You'll see. You'll see all the no excuses next year. That's all I just say. I might not go now. I'll pull. That's the speaking of which I believe there's a deadline

5:26coming up for first pitch Arizona. Ryan, do you want to shout that out? Oh, yeah, I guess we, yeah, that's a decent transition. The deadline, 20% off for first pitch Arizona registration expires this coming Monday, September 21st, if my math is right. So yeah, if you're on the fence, you have a chance to save some money on registration for first pitch. It's filling up pretty quick. But join us for the event. It's November 5th through 8th out in Mesa, Arizona. Down in Mesa, Mesa, Arizona, I should say. And we are doing golf. There are still some times available to join us for a day on the links leading into first pitch. Thursday, November 5th, we're going to play that morning between 9 and 10 AM at the great Dobson Ranch. Golf Course just south of the Rigglyville facility. So join us if you can, if you are able. But yeah, the baseball HQ deadline is Monday, September 21st. It's a 20% on first pitch registration. Yep, go check it out. Enjoy the fun. But now let's do it.

6:27Ryan, let's kick off the week 27 Fab preview. As always, what are we looking at with the weekly planner? It's going to be the small, like, well, it's technically the same size. I'm thinking if I look at the road of wire pitching grid, but it's the final week, the final countdown. What do we got this week? All right, it's final week, of course. Most teams have an off day on Monday. So just in terms of like planning for setting liners for this final week, know that yes, there will be some teams at play on Monday. But the majority of your lineup start sit decisions will be on Tuesday. So potentially book a work meeting with yourself on Tuesday afternoon and block out some time. Usually, there's more games on Monday. So we've got pretty much every team except for two playing six games. The only two seven game teams are the Yankees and Reyes. Well, that's what we get. It froze for a second. Sorry, you're talking about blocking out a meeting by yourself and it froze. So what do you got? Did I free? Can you hear me? Yeah, you're good. OK. Yeah, block out. I hope my employer is not listening.

7:27Block out a meeting with yourself, Tuesday afternoon. Set those lineups because there will be a ton of starts at decisions to be made on Tuesday. Two seven game weeks, the Yankees and the Reyes. Every other team is six games. So not a ton of baseball over the final week. And again, most of those off days are on Monday. Our Sacramento Quad A's, I guess we're calling them now. They're at home the entire week. So they get six games, two against the Angels. Wow, we get Walbert, Urania and Sacramento. And then four hosting the Astros. And so the A's get five righties. I'm very nice schedule for your lefty bat A's. These Cincinnati Reds are on the road. So Great American Small Park will be closed for the season. The final week of the season, the Reds go to Atlanta and then go to Toronto. And then last but not least on our park factor teams,

8:28the Rockies are split at course. They host Arizona for three games at course to start the week and then go to the south side of Chicago to end the season. Quick, just note and then I'll pass it to you for just some, we should probably just talk general fab strategy for the final week. I know you've been have talked about this, but having extra hitters on hand for this last week is important. And if you do that, you can really play these half week matchups if you are in a format like on the NFBC where you can make mid week moves. So I will try and we will try and kind of call out those first half or second half weeks that are kind of split. If there's an enticing half week, we'll try and call that out more than normal, because in theory, you want nine or 10 pictures on your team. You don't really need to hold any extra pictures and you're going to have a ton of extra bats. So you should have the flexibility to kind of play these half weeks for the last week of the season. Yeah, and just a little extra to the schedule,

9:30there is only three games on Monday to Ryan's point. So you got that going. And the Yankees and race have seven games because starting on Tuesday, they have a double header. So we'll point it out and we talk about them, but that means they get four games, I believe in the first half of the week, instead of what other teams might not have. So again, we'll point those kind of things out. Those are the differentiating factors also to Ryan's point, teams that like the angels have to and Sacramento, well, maybe use them for the start of the week and not the end of the week, so on and so forth. And we'll get to all that kind of the goodies, like usual. If you want to talk fast strategy, I was going to kind of just link it throughout the show and we talk players, but yeah, the biggest thing to me is have, I'd say 10 pictures, you can do that. Make sure you have a middle infield, a corner infield, and like basically have a replacement at every position. It would be a suggestion to mine in case somebody gets hurt and you have to like take them out at the last minute because we might not find out till Tuesday that they are hurt now. That's something else to keep in mind.

10:31So I plan accordingly, like Kaelin Cole Pepper, you couldn't have done much about these. For the second half of the week, you could have a shortstop in play. If you don't have a backup shortstop right now, you have Kaelin Cole Pepper in your line of freeing time. So stuff like that you don't want to do next week if you can avoid it. Well, another thing that came up in the discord tonight, which I thought was a pretty astute point. I should probably have looked up who said it. There's this taboo about not taking zeros just in general. Depending on your categories and where you're bunched at, it might be okay to take pitching zeros. Don't be welcome. For example, if you are, that was B Welch. Yes. Our guy, well said B Welch. If you are for example, wins and strikeouts don't matter to you either way, but you're tightly bunched and whipped for ERA. Say you have like a Jesus Lazardo on your team who's obviously not gonna pitch the last week of the season. Does it just just think about this? Does it make sense to cut Lazardo

11:31and add some crappy starting pitcher who could blow up your ratios the last week of the season? Right? Again, if wins and case don't matter to you having Lazardo in your lineup isn't really a negative, it will not move your ratios. So again, that could be good, could be bad. I'm just kind of throwing that out there as a, because there's this kind of narrative out there that never take a zero. Depending on your categories on the pitching side, and I agree with that on the hitting side. You probably shouldn't take a zero, but there can be worse than zeros out there on the pitching side, and that can affect things depending on where your bunching categories. You're preaching to the choir over here. The zeros would be pretty sweet right now compared to some of these scrubs. Yeah, so trust me, that's on the radar as options coming up this week that I do my fab. So yeah, Chiquini in the chest is to what point, to that point, wish I had played all injured guys this week. So yeah, there you go. Welcome to the party, buddy. By the way, Chiquini's beating me in the list, and I'll leave my three points right now.

12:32So I think he's, if you want to play more injured players, I'd appreciate it, but thank you doing just fine. Rooting for you, Michael, in the listener league. Come on, man. Ryan's your biggest fan right now. All right, let's get to it. Team by team here, we'll rock and roll here. We'll start with the Baltimore Orioles. As always, Ryan, they have six games, of course. It's going to be a trend. Three at homeers Toronto, three at the New York Yankees. Baltimore is three games out of the final wildcard spot in the A.L., so that's still something to play for. The Yankees might just be stuck with the first wildcard spot by the time they play next weekend, so they might be setting the rotation, things we don't know, but things that could potentially help things. It's right now one lefty and five righties. The last thing I'll say before I pass it over to you. Right now, when we're saying lefty, righty situations, these rotations are changing like the wind right now. So we are going to thought we'd know at this point in time by next tomorrow, by Sunday, by Tuesday. A lock can change along the swastis. Be prepared to not be excited about maybe the magic

13:32you thought your playing. But for now, one lefty, five righties, Baltimore Orioles. Yeah, and this weekly planner will be updated pretty much hourly these next few line-up locks. If you're on the Patreon, you can trust it. It will be up to date. I guess the biggest ad for the Orioles is Dylan Bevers. He's 30% on in 12 teamers. He's leading off against righties, especially this first half of the week. Those first two games in Scherzer and Eric Getty. Yes, the third is against Dylan Seas, but Dylan Bevers leading off against righties is a decent play this week. Yeah, it's probably about the only thing I would look at because CES should be widely rostered. Yeah, he's like 80% in 12s, but yeah, we're calling out. Yes, he's 74% he's playing every day now. So he should be on your radar if he's somehow available for you and he's not just playing versus lefties anymore. So worth pointing that playing time is there. The other thing I'll mention is Sammy Besayo is dealing with a shoulder injury he's apparently been dealing with for like over a month.

14:34So he's been in and out of the lineup and the production has fallen. So this comes down to the thing. You could replace him and catch her next week if you wanted to. I wouldn't be opposed to it. It's not the maybe like sharpest, like most of I guess easiest thing to do. But his production has fallen off a cliff. And if you can find like a Rafael Flores or someone sitting out there that you can try to roll the dice with because you need production to catch her, go for it. At the same time, maybe it's better to put a zero a catcher than what Sammy Besayo is about to do to you. There's kind of a catch 22 in that one. The other one I'll mention and it's gonna sound funny and just hear me out Ryan. Oh Jesus, here we go. But we got first seven percent roster Jeremiah Jackson. Everybody. Well, Jackson Holly is landed on the IEL, the rest of season. Holiday's playing second. He is homeward in each of the first two games since he's rejoined the Baltimore Orioles. So if you need mental infield help, like I was saying, if you need that,

15:34he's got second and outfield. So he's flexible, which some people might want next week. Jeremiah Jackson should be at least on some radars. I know he'll be added in a lot of deeper leagues next week. We have seen Jeremiah Jackson be very good for stretches in the majors multiple times in his career. So yeah, you never know. Yeah, seven percent in twels. He will be widely added in most competitive deep leagues coming up. I think that's all I have for the bats. Like I'm gonna do a lot of deep digging, folks. So just bear with me on these shows, but that's where we are. Pitching side of things, Shane Bos looks like he avoided a serious injury. He should be rocking and rolling Ryan. Chris Bassett continues to pitch well, even though I get the cold shoulder from you. Bassett's 6% rostered. I would be definitely interested in the Chris Bassett next week as he takes on the Toronto Blue Jays. Bassett pitch well in his last start against the Met 6K's one walk, one earned and 6 and 2 thirds. You like the Toronto matchup. So I will, I will cosine your Chris Bassett recommendation

16:39as a streamer. Kate Poe which is getting called up on Friday to make the start. I would line him up against Toronto next week and Toronto is not great for his lefties. That could be at least a deeper league stream if you're not worried about ratios maybe. Yes, we'd rather Bassett, but yes, Poe which if you need a case and a chance at a win, there are, there is some serious ratio risk, however. Anything else the started rotation before we head to the bullpen? Nope. All right, bullpen, cousin Rico got two straight saves and then Andrew Kittred to got the save on Tuesday. But I was in extra innings. Got cousin Rico still got the, the, the late any usage there. So it feels like it's still Rico Garcia if you're in need of some late any action. Yeah, until it's Kittred. You know, you never know. It's Uncle Rico as well, Bubba. I know you know that, but. Yeah, I, is Rico widely available? He should be in 12.

17:39I know he's got picked up. 10 and 12s. I'd take a shot there. I would I picked him up in one of my 12s last week. I have five closures going because I can gain my most ground and saves. Sure. So I grabbed him and then I know you got picked up. I've Mr. the robot in my AC this past week. So he should be available in a lot of formats right now. All right, let's head to the Boston Red Sox six games at home. This week three versus Cleveland three versus the Cubs. This is where you can play the mixed bags. It's five lefties and one righty. Three lefties to start the week against Cleveland and then two and two lefties, one righty against the Cubs. Now I will say this much Ryan. This is subject to change just because the the Cubs should have their wild card figured out so that weekend series. I doubt their mix and in matching the rotation, but that that my point is the two lefty one righty could switch a little bit at the end. It could switch to another lefty though, because like Gossman probably doesn't throw that last game.

18:41It could be a whole thing game for all we know. It could be a bullpen game like they probably throw Petersen. Either way, it should be a bunch of lefties, you know, not knowing the exact number going against the Red Sox. One guy who, you know, given that schedule, who I think you can drop who is, I think criminally over rostered right now is Jaron Durran, who has sat against two of the last three lefties at the Red Sox of face. So certainly the first half of the week when Boston plays three lefties, like you can't, I don't think you can start Jaron Durran. Another one who, and this came through the discord this tonight as well, which I didn't realize is Caleb Durban is playing hurt. Yeah, that surprised me. Didn't know that. Totally. This came in from from our guy from Canton dog. You know, the discord. I read quote, the pain and Caleb Durban, Caleb Durban's pinky has gone down drastically since he re-interested in August, which didn't know about, but it remains locked at nearly a right

19:43angle. And I tried to do that with my pinky tonight to lock it at a right angle. It's not great, man. Caleb Durban isn't right. And if you have another option at corner, you could probably move on, given my man's pinky's all screwed up. That is a great point. That's a weird one. Like I've seen AJ Hawk from being in football. His fingers like that full time. But that makes sense. Is a linebacker that played forever. His eyes are also like really cross acting. It's called CTE. But yeah, Durban, that was a new one. So him being banged up as a shame. Wilson Contreras left Thursday night's game hit by pitch. I'm going to read you this quote. So X-rays were negative after the game. They say he's day to day with the previous day. But this is the quote from Contreras. Sore, painful. My hand was dumb for like five minutes. That was the reason I came out of the game. I have fractured before the same hand. It felt like a fracture. Thankfully, it's not a fracture on the top of the bone. I'm just frustrated.

20:44Have we seen this before where a CT scan tomorrow might reveal a fracture, right? Let's go throw that out there. But the whole point to this is he might not play a lot because they're already locked up a wildcard essentially. It's not locked up. But the other thing is, I was going to tell you, you could drop Mickey Gaspers. He sits first lefties. Well, when Contreras was out, Gaspers played every game no matter where he was right or lefties. So that could change now. Yeah. Have it back up in place if you have Wilson Contreras, for sure. Other than that, that's a lot. I have nothing else on the hitting side of Boston. Yep. We're good. Pitching side, they're moving the rotation around a ton. I don't really trust many in this rotation. Besides, tolly and gray right now. Maybe Sore's the rest are just ratio nightmares. Agreed, especially looking at you, Patrick Sandivall. Even lately, Jake Bennett has been. Yeah, it's been tough times. Bennett on Tuesday against Boston hit a whip over two, even though he allowed like two runs or whatever. It was unbelievable. The ground balls are getting through right now.

21:45The bullpendo, Garrett Whitlock got the save on Thursday evening because the oldest Chapman is apparently dealing with a lat injury. And that's why he has not pitched in four games, Ryan. So if you have a oldest Chapman, keep that one in mind. And Garrett Whitlock might be worth it at this week. Right. Garrett Whitlock.

23:46This is Angus Maximus. This partner has one part of a pound of hot. Suzy cooked to water Angus speed. It's more expensive than a quarter pounder. The battle is closed. And for only 599, even regular juice can afford it. Like that guy. Give me that big old burger. Yeah. He holds Angus Maximus. Only 599 is cold senior. Available for a limited time in participating restaurants. Tax not included. Not valid for use within a combo or in combination with any other offer or discount. Absolutely worth an ad depending on weekend news for Chapman. Red Sox. Similar to your comment about Wilson Contreras. Not much reason to push a oldest Chapman the last week of the season. So yeah, if you are in need of saves, Garrett Whitlock is a fine option. A, he's really damn good. So he can help your ratios no matter what. And B, could be in line for saves. Agreed. All right, the New York Yankee 7 games this week all in the Bronx. 4 against the raise. Which technically still has some implications in the postseason.

24:46And then three at home versus Baltimore. Two lefties and five varieties for the New York Yankees who. Aaron Judge might be done. We don't know for sure, but they're going to slow play this one. I would imagine. You're going to slow play this one. I would imagine. I would imagine they do everything. They can to bubble wrap Aaron Judge for the playoffs. So have a backup in mind if you have Aaron Judge. Again, this is why we are kind of preaching to stack all these bench scissors because there's just so much uncertainty heading into this final week. With the five varieties facing the Yankees, good week for lefties. Obviously Louise Garcia is widely rostered, widely started. That should remain the case. Spencer Jones playing every day center field anyway. So you like that. Again, bottom of the barrel, but like if you have a Caleb Durbin or something, maybe you pick up a $1 Ryan McMahon. If you have no money, just because he will probably at least play the final week. Yep, especially in a deeper leagues fully can support that one. Not going to argue that one at all.

25:46If you want to roll the dice on a Jose Cabillero, he didn't play on Wednesday. We played the previous three games between second, short and third. They'll play play, especially if they clinch something. He'll play his five games this week. So if he needs steals, Jose Cabillero is quite interesting. And honestly, if you need steals, go pick up Anthony Volpe, still 19% in 12s. He's hitting over 300 each of the last two weeks. He's running. He's got a little bit of pop. He needs to be widely rosy to this final week. Great week for Volpe playing time will be there the last week. And yeah, 19% in 12s. Yeah, let's add Volpe is some insurance or start him. Starting pitching side of things. I don't have much here. They're pretty much set and stone outside of maybe messing with the rotation, which we can't predict right now. Exactly. And agreed. And then the last bit, the bullpen is David Bednar. And unless you have someone else you want to mention. Bednar it is. Tampa Bay Rays. They play seven games this week on the road. Four at the Yankees, three at the Phillies. So it's interesting matchups there.

26:46Three lefties and four righties for Tampa. It's two lefties, two righties in the Bronx. And then it's one lefty, two righties in Philadelphia. So what are you out there? I mean, sadly, we'll see how Vladivost week ends. So far not too much from our guy from Ryan Velotti. We just started against two lefties. You got three more to go this weekend. So let's see how Vladivost does. But both him and Johnny DeLuca, you could probably hold for the first half of the week just because the Rays would face two lefties. But you probably can't use them on the weekend, especially. Well, who knows? That weekend lefty is Christopher Sanchez. May not even pitch, but either way. I can't use this pitch. Yeah. And Wheeler on the last day too, like will not pitch very long if at all. So I don't know. It seems like a decent week for the lefty bats. So in order, it would be Victor Mesa, Jr. then. Then Palacios.

27:46I'll give it to you. Then Palacios. And then the soft spot, Cedric Mullins last and least. So those three lefty bats for the Rays are certainly fine for this last week. Yeah. And Mesa and Palacios have each played at least in one of the last two games. They're just lefties as well. So they want them in the line. Are you proud of me for knocking Mullins down the ladder? I would have been really proud if you didn't make sure them at all. But I'll let you be able to. It's the last show, man. When am I going to get to mention the soft spot again? Probably during Bubba and the Blooming's, honestly. Oh, I, yes, you'll mention that. And then I guarantee you in one of our 17 draft champions episodes, the soft spot will come up and be like, hey, this guy's available around 46. Would you be interested in him? Sure. You're like Christmas Eve. I'm drafting. Give me the soft spot. I'll get I'll get a text as I'm freaking 17 new and deep cooking a fricking deep tender white and blues go. This is a screenshot of the soft spots on his roster. I can see it now with Ben and 10 E three rounds before that.

28:49Yeah. You're Stremski all the ledger. Yeah, I can see it now. All right. Let's end in the pitching wise Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay. Not a whole lot to do there. No, no movement. All right, Toronto, Blue J's, they have six games this week, three at Baltimore, three at home versus Cincinnati, three lefties and three righties. Because right now it's one lefty, two righties against Baltimore, two lefties, one right against Cincinnati. So you might be able to play a little bit of a mix and match. So if you want, yeah, a little bit. I mean, the big thing is the schedule is just very nice. I mean, it's an 8.8% strikeout to a walk ratio for the pitchers facing Toronto this week, which is, which is Oregon, dot green in this weekly planner that we are looking at. I mean, start your good jays, of course, it's a good schedule. I mean, Andre Semenas, I feel like we keep talking about him, but he's still only 56% owned and 12 teamers. So especially if you need bags, Andre Semenas. I don't know. Is there anyone else? Like I'm not going to say I'll keep saying. Okay, dude, he had two whole runs last week and after you dog him on the last show,

29:53he opened it back to back games. I was like, Ryan, why do I even, why do I even do this, man? I mean, why, why, what am I even doing here? Oh, I love it. And then I will, I will say for just if people want to kind of see who we like more than others, I would take Volpi over him in as, but I like them both very much. Yeah, I mean, you get the extra game with Volpi. Yeah, for nothing else, I would agree with that. So I was kind of trying to give some clarity to some questions. People might have to. And then as two barrels and 157 played appearances, he Homer twice after I, that's just. A 20% fly ball rate. He doesn't hit the ball in the air. Gets on scores a lot of runs and Ryan's mouth. I see it's too home runs. It's glorious. It just shows you listeners of the show. Thanks Brett. Appreciate you. I have nothing else on the hitting side though. And I like the, I guess, okay, I'll say this much again. This is not a Jeremiah, a giant is deeper than Jeremiah, a giant.

30:56Oh my God. But a player that is playing a lot right now. And if you want to play the half weeks, he'll play some verse left. He's been primarily plays verse, right? He's, but Josh H Smith plays it every position. First, second, short, third and outfield. And he's actually playing quite well for the J's over the last month. So at least in deeper formats, Josh H Smith is very serviceable. This week, especially with that flexibility we're talking about. So I wouldn't completely prove that one. No comment. Beautiful Josh H Smith. Come on down. Anything on the pitching side. This is a team that like, Treyah Savage is expected back on Sunday, which means he gets another opportunity. But he's not going to pitch much and he's been hot garbage and rehab. Like, if he goes off tip my cat, but if you have ratio concern, I'd be terrified. I'd be terrified. But I'd also, yeah, for me, it's the pitch counts. I mean, unless he throws, he gets up to 70, 80 pitches on Sunday, maybe, but like, I don't see that happening. So while it's while the savage is in name, it's one that can do you like, there's not much

32:02upside there. And there's a ton of risk the way he's looked this year. Agreed. And other than that, like the rotation right now, it's cease. Sorry on our shirts or eriegati in your savage. Like, I got nothing really go in that direction. I mean, you do get a shirt or two step and he probably, well, who knows the last day of season, he probably pitches like four innings walks off. Oh, he's, he's pitching as long as he can because he's not the number one starter. If they sneak in, it's going to be C Soriano before him anyways. Like, it's, it's sure, you're going to take the ball from him. I personally wouldn't. I value my life. So no. But it's the reds. That's a matchup you love to see. It's two good matchups. So I'll say that much. If you're in the mac sure as a business, it's, if you need wins and potentially strike outs, go for it. Just know it's very volatile. Yep. Yep. Um, I had nothing on the bullpen as Louis, Ireland is pretty good. Yep. Gotta save this week again. So he's back. All right. Chicago White Sox six games this week. Three at the royals.

33:03Three at home versus what a way to finish the season when you're fighting for the AL Central. You get three against the road Rockies. I come on down. Everybody. I'm lefty in five varieties on tap for the White Sox this week. The floor is yours, Ryan. I was going to point out a gene segura on the White Sox and that is moonataka Murakami though he did Homer tonight. So that may be changes and things. But yeah, it was, it was pretty massive. But look at, look at Murakami's last month. It done absolutely nothing for you except strike. It's been like last two months. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. But Homer tonight, obviously we know the power is there. It can be streaky. So if you don't need power, I don't know if you want to play Murakami's just been that bad. It is a nice schedule for the White Sox. You mentioned the road Rockies. It's a 9% K minus walk for the pitchers facing the White Sox this week. You're going to laugh at me. But Andrew Ben and Tendi is a streaming option, man. He is. Yes, he is. Tristan Peters as well. Yep.

34:03Tristan Peters as well with the five varieties. Yep. So yeah, with the five varieties and there's those awesome matchups, not going to argue that one too much. I definitely think Ben and Tendi over the sauce spot. That's for sure. That weekend at home is going to be pretty fricking. Except Felter's pitching. You go watch out. Right and Felter, maybe. It's good. It could get fun. Absolutely. Anything. Anything else with the bats. I know Kyle Teal still out there in shallow leagues. I remedy that if you can. He hasn't been like a world leader. We know he has the potential to be a world leader. So I get that as I probably start him over Bessio. Yeah, I would too. I thought he was like widely rostered, I guess. Teal is only 44% and 12. So there you go. Yeah, he was like 30 last week. So at least he's climbing, but it's been pretty, pretty weak. Pitching side of things. This is where it gets interesting because we've talked about it before. Anthony K has great matchups, but he's been very bad. So I'm kind of scared of that.

35:03He's got the two step at KC versus Colorado. I know where the two steps later, but we're talking about it now. Does Anthony K and that kind of situation? Does that do it for you? He's like a shurser to me in terms of if you're bunching ratios, I would not do it. But if you're just going for wins and trying to max out wins with some Ks, no pun intended, you could go Anthony K. Yeah. I mean, you're facing the Royals and the Rockies. There is not for a team that's fighting for their division. Like there is very good win potential there for streaming. And I'll just go down the list here. Eric Feday threw another good one tonight. Like if you're and he gets Kansas City, David Sandlin very much intrigues me. He was really good in AAA since he's been coming back and I got some time following a opener. And as last time he did the brand roll, I looked pretty decent. And then he got Davis Martin. I know we climb against the road Rockies and he's throwing like five innings every time I hear. So all these white sock starters, or at least if we're talking matchups this upcoming week,

36:03some of the better ones you're going to find. Yeah, I agree. Anything with the bull pin in Chicago. I don't know what to make of the bull pin. Honestly, it's just so mix or match like you could go for Taylor Hudson, like there will be save offs. Just need to have no idea which one's going to get which save win. Yep, it is going to be like Hudson got the win, Brian Hudson, you mean? Yeah, he got the win tonight because Grant Taylor through two and a third innings. So he's probably not going to be available on Friday. I still like Hagen Smith. He had his first rough outing on Wednesday. But he pitches like every other day. So you're going to get probably at least two outings next week from from Hagen Smith. We've more to use it goes at least two innings in each one. So I think he's another guy if you want like ratio help outside of this last one's been lights out over his tenure in the bigs. He's kind of the new Grant Taylor, a future Grant Taylor maybe for them.

37:04So the white socks with their matchups and this they're constantly moving guys in and out have a lot of options this week to like help you with certain things. Luis Castillo's in the bull pin. What a fall. That's how David Samling up put in the notations. That's pretty crazy. Samling's the the option folks over. Yeah, the full like you you deal in Dylan, Dylan, the photo. Hell of a trade right there. They actually got something for Luis Castillo. You love it. Yep. Love to see it. All right. The Cleveland Guardians who are tied with the Chicago white socks at the point of this recording. They have six games on the road this week. Three at Boston, three at Kansas City. Four lefties and two righties is two lefties in each series. So your Cleveland Guardians are not yours. The Cleveland Guardians could be interesting this week. And I will preface this with Chase Delater is dealing with a wrist injury in his day today. And Angel Martinez is dealing with a side injury in his day today. Both apparently avoided a big injury is what the reports are. Yeah, which sucks for Angel Martinez because with all these lefties coming up, I would

38:06be interested in adding him. And if he's healthy this weekend, it might be worth a cheap ad there given the four lefties. I don't have too much on the guardians. I mean, Travis Bazon is playing every day against lefties. He's been on fire. So a little bit of a meocalpa there because Bazonia was platooning for a bit and wasn't looking good, but he has picked things up and is now playing every single day. I don't know. Brian Roqueo has been a little bit better lately. I would imagine he's widely available. So you can go there for some middle infield death. Yep. Agreed. Full agree on the Roqueo call there. But yeah, that's all I really have is if Angel Martinez plays this week and I'd be interested in him for next week, I need day lotter to get back in the freaking lineup. The other one I will mention, let me see his roster rate real quick. Never mind. He's 100% roster. So we're not going to be like 100% some lead people. I didn't know if people gave up on Joe Adele yet, but with four lefties on tab, Joe Adele is a great start this upcoming week. So yes, yes he is. Yeah, I just figured someone had given up on him because of his overall production.

39:09Pitching side of things, they're pretty much locked and loaded. But Foster Griffin, Joey Cantillo, I don't trust it all right now and Tanner Bibi is pretty much on that same list. Yeah, I mean, I guess Bibi a little bit to a lesser extent, but right, it's a good call. These guy Griffin and Cantillo, like, yeah, it's tough. He just has not been the second half Foster the Griffin has not fostered the Griffin. So a two step, any two step this last week at all, goes down to what you need in categories, but there's ratio risk now with Foster Griffin. Joey Cantillo just cannot throw strikes and that really sucks. So yeah, in terms of like start, sit, you may have better options on your team and not know it. Yep. All right, Detroit Tigers, six games at home this week, three versus the Nats, three versus the Pirates, two lefties and four righties for the Detroit Tigers. Detroit Tigers, absolutely great schedule for them. It's a 9% strikeout to walk in, especially the last week of the season, facing the

40:11Pirates and whoever these guys are that are catching for the Pirates. Whoa, what? Not reading those names. Who are they? You know, don't ask me. Well, yeah, it's going to get changed. It's been changed around again. So unless fan graphs is different in the road of wire, right now they got Jared Jones going on Sunday, unless that changes again. I would think that changes, but yeah, it's Christian Curtis and Antoine. One Kelly just for completeness, who may potentially go next week or one of them or whatever. But either way, the beleaguered Pittsburgh rotation, the final weekend of the season, it's a nice set of matchups for the Detroit Tigers. Problem is like, I don't, there's not too much in terms of like ads. You can, you can do Colt Keith. He was banged up Miss Monday and Tuesday. So I don't know if there's anything underlying there, but like, I don't know, there are other lefty bats, McKinstree Brett Callahan, they don't really interest me. I mean, I'll throw out your guy.

41:12How you Lee? Yep. Talk to him last few weeks. So keep going there. Yeah, he went deep on Wednesday. I believe it was. So yeah, keep playing how you Lee's multi position eligible, which will be a plus as well. So he's pretty much the only offensive. I like, yeah, you could add Colt Keith if you want, but I'll pass. I'll mention John Peck again in your deep performance. He runs playing every day at short stuff. I still rather have Volpe and other FMN as heck. I'd probably rather have Josh H. Smith, but Peck's another, if you're deep down the waterfall looking for a shortstop middle infield, he'll help. He's going to play. Yep. Pitching side of things, they have a loaded six man right now, but I'm not interested in what's available unless it's true Anderson. It's the only guy I'd be interested in. Yeah, I guess it's what, well, no, Katermentara probably doesn't get a two step if it is a six man. Well, see the six man because Jack Flarety might might come back like there's a lot of what if yeah, too much too much uncertainty at this point to spec on anyone.

42:17I guess true Anderson. He's probably the best option out of the rest of this group. It's pretty rough. Troy Melton's been been terrible lately. If you are starting Troy Melton, you may want to look at alternatives. Yes, indeed. All right, Kansas City Royals six games at home, three versus the White Sox, three versus the Guardians, two lefties and four righties. Royals have not much to play for, but they do have the where's that there is. Yeah, the Royals are out of it, but they're going to face the Guardians team that might have some to play for so they can play spoiler if they want to left these four righties when he got the Royals. Not much. You could you could do a long shout out, Mount Massey, you homer this week. Michael Massey is playing every day at second base, but I think nothing more than just some middle infield insurance covered with Michael Massey. The other two guys he might get at bats and pick up at bats that might be widely roster. It might be widely available as Kyle is realizing Collins, but man, it's been rough for both of them.

43:18Yeah, if I'm actually going to stream any outfielder, I'm going to the rave. If I'm streaming anybody out of that outfielder, I don't feel like streaming any of them, but the raves, the guy I want at least he shows some pop plays in there. I'm too old to rave, so. I'm older than you are, so. And much older shots fired. Pitch inside of things, anything here, Randy Domneck, he's looking good. I'm going to go back to bat for Daniel Lynch. Another really good start on Wednesday and his two step against the white sucks in the Guardians. Looks pretty nice actually. Does it does it, Baba? He was on the Tuesday show. Dude, three strikeouts. Daniel Lynch has not had a start with, I know they've been abbreviated starts. He has not had a start this year with more than three strikeouts. Ratios. But yeah, but I mean, maybe yeah, the controls have been pretty good for Lynch and with any two step, you do have wind potential. So there is that I just think I think the risk is too much.

44:22Fair enough. All right. Do you want anything to do with this bullpen? Because I'm over. No, I'm over to them to Kevin Hasey in the chat, but Mike says Michael Garcia is back. So you obviously want him in your lineup starting this weekend. Agreed. Yeah, he came back, I think, was Monday or Tuesday. Yep. Minnesota twins. They have six games this week. Three at the Giants, three versus the Rangers. It's one lefty and five varieties on the weekend. It's all three varieties. Kalen Kohlpepper out for the rest of the season with hamstring injury on the aisle. I guess you could come back like the last game or two. Not going to happen. A manual Rodriguez is still available in 12s. So I'll just throw that one out there. It's crazy. Yep, that's the name. That's the name I was going to bring up 8% owned a manual Rodriguez in 12 teamers. Already it's four barrels. There was first 20 played appearances striking out a quarter of the time. Again, tiny sample, but he's making contact, making hard contact in the majors. And most importantly, what's he doing? Bubba is playing every single day.

45:24And that's what matters in this last week of the season. So a manual Rodriguez is an excellent, I think an excellent ad this last week. Yeah, not a post to it. I think he's one of the better ads this week. It's Walker Jenkins is struggling. Yeah, what are you doing with Jenkins? I was going to bring that. So he homered like right before the show started. He was the one who took away the Walbert, Urania win. You rolling with Jenkins. I benched him in my 12s where I have him. I think you started him in 15s, which kind of feels about right. Yeah, I feel like in 12s, if you want to move on, you can. But with the five varieties, especially the weekends with those three varieties that they get to face off with, they're tricky. You don't get me wrong. And E of all, he might only pitch a couple of things or he might be out of the bullpen. Like there's a lot going on there. I think he's still keeping around because if you look at his overall skills, so before this last week slumped the prior week or two, he was still looking really good at the plate. It's just the results weren't there. Young ball player, maybe it starts to click. Maybe he stinks.

46:24Who knows? I still think he's pretty darn good. And if you can find a valid replacement, go for it. If you're not going to use him this week, drop him. But if you could potentially use him as a platoon guy or a half week guy, I'd hang on to him. Yeah, for what it's worth the Homer tonight was very impressive. Yeah, it's good. He is just young, just young ball player. I'll be very interested next season from Walker Jenkins. But yeah, it's a tricky one. I get it if people are like, I'm done with it. Totally understand. But in 15s, I think you're still riding that train. Rotation rotation rotation rotation. The Dean, Pre-Lip, anything for you? I don't mind Pre-Lip. Pre-Lip has pitched really well. The only issue is that's got some. Ooh, Texas. Whoof. Well, and it's just got some major shutdown potential. Right. The twins are out of it. Pre-Lip is, I think I mentioned. It's on Tuesday, but Pre-Lip is far beyond

47:24from a workloads standpoint where he's been. So there is risk that Pre-Lip, even though he is pitching well, he may not make that Friday start. So I like him. He's widely available, but it's just going to be a tough start because you have to, if you're not in daily moves leagues, you pretty much have to make that decision on Monday. And you won't know. But Pre-Lip is pitching quite well. Yes, he's in the matchup's column for Friday. So he's pitching very well. That ranger start though. They're one of the best teams where his left is over the last month. So that is a bit terrible. Terrorism as well. Yeah. And playing very well right now, too. Texas. All right. What's said of the AOS? The Sacramento athletics. They get six games. As you mentioned earlier, two versus the Angels, then four versus Houston. One left, he and five, righties. It's basically the first starts a left, and it's five righties straight after that. So buckle up. I'll let you have the floor here first, because I think every week. Why? You want to give me the frickin' floor? Because there's some really good lefties to pick up this week that I know you aren't the biggest fan of.

48:26I can't wait to hear who you have to look at. Especially near the top of the order, right? Yeah, he's 81% roster. You ought to worry about him. OK, so I won't name Jeff McNeill. I will name Jeff McNeill. But certainly a start this week, as much as I want, to vomit in my mouth, saying that anytime you're hitting second for six games at home for the quad days that is doable, your guy Donovan Walton. Ooh, we shook a lot. Absolutely a nice middle infield depth ad. And to a lesser extent, the Sea of Cortez, it's drying up. It's been a tough drought. The Sea of Cortez, Carlos Cortez. But I mean, we'll play five games at home against pretty bad pitching. So it's a deeply kind of hell-married dart throw for the last week of the season, Carlos Cortez. Listen to the heartbeat.

But I've made fun of Cortez the last two weeks. They've been in sacrament, because they have four or five varieties every time. And he's at least one home run each week. So he finds his way to it. And that's all you pretty much want in the 15. So you'll think it. So yeah, Cortez is in play. The one to keep an eye on, I know, the three of us are talking about it in our text today. Tommy White's come back from being banged up. He's played two straight versus righties. Now if Tommy White continues to play this week, and Tommy White is in play next week as well. But the A's could mess with you. So keep that in mind. I'll say, I agree. So I got paper. It looks pretty sweet. But then would we be shocked if all of a sudden he plays three games next week?

52:31No. And a lot of that has to do with like Langelier's plays a game or two gets a day off. So then Mick Neil, the H's and lose Tommy White around so on and so forth. So just watch that whole thing unravel. Pitching side of things. Are you taking a chance on any pictures in Sacramento this weekend? Because I will not be. Yeah, I was, I think I might need to amend the, just because we need to constantly evolve throughout the season. Amend the bench, everyone except Jacob Lopez. Lopez is last. Couple of stars haven't been all that hot. I think struck out just three in his most recent start. So would, would line up to face, who would Lopez face? He would face the Astros who are playing for everything. So I don't know. Jacob Lopez is a fringe ad Jack Perkins. Though he pitched very well in his first start of the two step this current week, better than Ryan Felner. I would, I would add.

53:32I am not throwing Jack Perkins at home unless I have to. Yep, not, not a chance that that's happening. So I'd be moving on from all the pictures, the only ace pictures I'd be quasi interested in if you need help is Hollywood, Hogan and Elvis Elvus Elvarado. Just just because Elvis, Elvis seems like the guy getting to say is what they're going to probably, the six games are probably going to throw three or four of them. That's a timeless nickname and Hollywood, Hogan Harris. It's awesome rules off the tongue at it to the list. It's funny to just triple H. You could be hunter, her's, terrorist, but it's more fun with Hollywood. Well, that was Ryan Hellsley. I called him Hunter, her's Telsley. Yeah, see what you guys come to the show for right here. So that's all I got with Sacramento. Unless you got something else. No. Houston Astros, they have six games this week, two at Seattle and then four at Sacramento. It's two lefties and four righties. It is two lefties over the weekend in Sacramento. They play a total of two lefties and two righties in the sack town, but for your second half of the week, it's two lefties and one righties.

54:33So what do you got with the Astros? I mean, it kind of doesn't really matter what the matchups are. They don't really platoon. So I don't, honestly, don't really have anything. The good Astros are owned unless you like a Taylor Tremel. No, he did come back from the paternalist and go deep with the dad's strength on Thursday. Sure. Forgotten conclusion. And honestly, when you're talking about a Sacramento series, Taylor Tremel is actually in play as much as I was saying. Here we go. No, he is though. I think about it against that pitching staff. And that bullpen in that bullpen. Yeah, Taylor Tremel is so Tremel or the sea of Cortez? I take Taylor Tremel, honestly, because their offense is both they both will put a bronze in that ballpark. I'll take Tremel, but Cortez is fine. I still like Tremel's upside out of the two. And he should play pretty much every day in that outfield. So not opposed to that. What I wanted to mention though, I got the flip side of things. You're talking about being able to just cut Jaren to Ran.

55:34You can cut Christian Walker this week. Whoa, he's horrible. Like I wouldn't want to because of four games in Houston, but I haven't been using him. In Sacramento. He's hit for in Sacramento. Sorry, but he's been so bad, beyond bad of late. So I would not be surprised. If you need, he's seen him low 200 for like over a month though. Yeah, I mean, her devs and flows. I at least told him for the last week and then sacrament. That's fair. Yeah, I got ahead of myself there, but I haven't been starting him a lot lately. He's been really, I mean, no, you are correct. It has been, it has been very bad for a good month plus for Christian Walker, but that doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't pop a couple of homers. He probably will. And Sacramento and Sacramento, I said all that, but he's gone full gene security on a lot of people. Yes, he has agreed. Anything on the pitching side of things on Houston, Peco was great again on Thursday in the piggyback role,

56:35the brand role, but anything with the Houston pitching. I mean, Peco is widely available. And if it's another follower role like, yeah, I will, I will cosine Ethan Peco. Yeah, four four Ks today. Yeah, against Seattle, five and two thirds, three hits, four Ks. No walks for Peco. There's still risk with him. I don't know if he's that good, but coming off a good start with a good matchup. Like I can see it with Peco and Christian obvious, still 44% roster with the two step. Yeah, that right. It kind of goes without saying, but we should say it because it is only 44% Christian Javier and probably will make that two step because Houston and Texas are in a dogfight right now. They're the two step right now. Yeah, they are. So there are some pitching options in Houston. They do not currently have a problem, but they might. All right, Los Angeles, Angels of Anaheim, six games this week, two at Sacramento, which brings you two lefties, by the way.

57:37And then four games at Seattle. It's a total of three lefties and three righties this week. Yeah, so it's a split week. I'd still be, I don't know, the split weeks tougher like Moises, but he's hitting a lot better lately. Seems to be growing as a hitter comes with plenty of prospect pedigrees, about to turn 23. So like you could, you could add Valley Starros as a second catcher in 12 teamers. I wouldn't think that's too crazy of a move other than that. Man, this lineups just freaking garbage. This is stream against team. It is a stream against team, but if you want for those two Sacramento games, like it's two lefties like this is a Von Gris some time for your first half of the week. I'd be fine with that. Yeah, that's, that's okay. Yeah, I won't go as far to say Christian more like I want him to be something, but I'm not crazy. I would stop there. Yeah, Gris some, yeah, Gris some for the first half of the week seems, seems doable with the two lefties and because the two lefties are,

58:38what, basso and screen. It's bad lefties. Get it up. The other one, the other one I'll mention if you want it strictly for the first half of the week. Mashes lefties, Posey Siri will play in those games and he gets lefties very well. Ryan is just not another, another no comment there. Another no comment. Okay, this is good. I got a long list here. It's gonna be a fun, fun, fun, fab week. Did you get a start? All right, eight hours on. I got my daughter this week and two. It's gonna be awesome. You're gonna be another piece of paper, dude. You're keeping up. You're barely even looking at the screen. You're just writing games now. I got a lot coming up here to the fab article. This week is gonna be insane. You've written like half of MLB rosters. So, well, I don't have long waterfalls this week and Ryan because I have to replace a lot of things on my rosters. So this is for, this is more for me than you. Okay. Pitching side of things though, like Ryan Johnson still solid.

59:39I think in play and widely available in 12s, he does get. At Seattle, which is freaking awesome. So that stands out to me. Yeah, it's Ryan, yeah, it's Ryan Johnson. And it's at Seattle and it's against Kate Anderson who has struggled, struggled lately. So there's even some wind potential there against the most disappointing team in the major leagues this season. So sign off on the Ryan Johnson. I mean, a two step you say Kikuchi is at least interesting to us. We like Kikuchi is 24% rostered in 12 teamers. Yep. Right that one down. Look at him. Right in the way, man. Done. Let's go talk about that useless team in the Seattle Mariners. They have six games at home this week, two against Houston, four against the angels, two lefties and four righties for your Seattle Mariners. It's funny how everyone's talking about how you go through like the giants every single guy in the 40 man. I just want to skip the Mariners.

1:00:40It is. It's bad. The one name I will, I will, this is a half week play. If the matchups hold, but last Montez for the first half of the week gets pretty good pitching and all three righties currently slated for two lefties next weekend. The Mariners so you can't do last Montez and less things change over the weekend, but at least for the first half of the week. Montez is a is a nice ad. Or just art if you have them. Yeah, I'd start them for sure. Like you said, I'm surprised don't 35% rostered in 12s with the three games and cures coming up, but. I think more people could have played that game when they did not. Yeah, for this weekend. Yeah. Pitching side of things are pretty much business as usual. Unfortunately, yes. Agreed. All right, the Texas Rangers, you said earlier fighting for some postseason, legitimacy with Houston. Texas has six games this week, three at home versus the match, three at the Minnesota twins, three lefties and three righties.

1:01:43It starts with two lefties against the Mets, then finishes one lefty to righties against the twins. Jack Peterson has a fractured hand. The swelling has stopped. He's trying to grip a bat was what I read on Thursday. We'll see how that plays out. I would not be using Jack Peterson. Yeah, it's like that old jock jam CD. It's got some scratches on it starting to skip. Yeah, I think it's time to dispose of that compact discs. So RIP jock jams. He'll be back next year. He's only 34. He'll be back for our streaming purposes is a young and good next season. I mean, who is their D H without it's kind of dead. Oh, Elias D. Jesus. D. I was actually been swinging a while. I get to catch her too. That's a car. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. Whatever. Anyone else on this freaking Rangers. I got nothing else on the lives. Yes. I wasn't played in like three years.

1:02:45He's the old Rockies catcher, isn't he? I mean, he was the old star game MVP one year. I think he's my God. I will say if you do play the the weeks, the week half weeks thing with Texas. The first half of the week, Justin Foskey is largely in play. If you need middle and field help, he's playing very well. I left these agreed. We've always liked Foskey. We just didn't play enough against righties. No, he still doesn't, but like actually in my PT tomorrow call. I think he's a potential second baseman for the next year. If they want to actually give him a chance. So I think he has, he's got the skills. They still haven't unleashed him, but they get those two lefties in three games. Just start the week. Foskey could be a biweekly play for you. Anything in the pitching that side of things. What do we have on the pitching side? I don't know. You like, I mean, do you like Kumar rocker? He faces the meds and Zach Thornton this week. Yeah, we talked about that on. He's like, he fits the bill of a good streaming matchup.

1:03:47I guess it's, do you want win potential in Ks potentially? But it's your inconsistent. That's, that's where I would look. I'd, I'd also look at Cal control who is still available in a lot of 12s. Yeah, control is 73% in 12. It was up. I missed that one. Sorry, but that good whip play. Yeah, rocker if you desperate. Rocker if you desperate, but I'd rather him be a two step to make that decision. One step rocker. I feel like I have other mistakes I can make. Yeah, that's true. All right, let's go to the national league. Atlanta Braves. They have six games this week, three at home. We're Cincinnati three at the Miami Marlins. One lefty and five righties for the Braves. All right. The Braves. Man, I mentioned them earlier, but you get the five righties. It's, it's pretty good matchups. I would, I would add Mike Ostremsky to the list. A hitting half decently. The rest of this lineup is pretty set in stone and honestly hitting kind of well. So that's about all I have.

1:04:47Yeah, and they're kind of running away with their division. So it's still, it's not over yet, but they pretty much had that one set in stone. Four games up on Philly through Thursday's games. Yep. Yeah, and they got Philly coming in the town this weekend, I believe it is. So we'll find out how that goes pitching side of things. I don't really have much. I was telling you how mad I was. I was supposed to face Pittsburgh next week. Then they moved them up to pitch Sundays. Now, um, martin Perez pitches at Miami, which I still don't hate, but martin president home his home road splits have been pretty impressive. So like martin Perez could be a stream against Miami, not opposed to it, but not what I was hoping for. Agreed could be a stream there. I don't mind martin Perez. I do mind J.R. Richie who technically lines up for a two step. It might get the two step because they just you should, you know, whatever are most likely on Sunday and Richie, they're not going to use them in the postseason. I hope for the brave sake. So you may get two decent outings or you may get two outings that have a decent

1:05:49chance of happening. I should not say they will be decent outings because of this J.R. Richie and the control has been pretty bad. So, you know, uh, win potential with two starts on a good team ratio risk. So it depends on your categories. Yeah, it's, it's totally, um, it's totally a category first strikeout wins play because Richie got smoked by Chicago. He gives up. He was my home run call the day on fancy pros. It was just, it's bad. What he's got going on right now, but see what you can do. All right, Miami Marlin six games three at the Cubs and Riggly three at home versus Atlanta. It is three lefties and three righties two lefties over the weekend against the Braves. Because they'll get, uh, that's going to change sales not pitching on Sunday. So keep that in mind. So that's the J.R. Richie spots should be, it should be two lefties and four righties this week from Miami. Yep. Um, I mean, I don't know how I, it's worth pointing out. Javier Sonoa is on fire right now.

1:06:49I think he's like 75% owned in 12 teamers. So I, I finally got to stop writing him up like a week or two ago. I've been writing him up for so long. I have him in our Vegas 12 teamer. I love hobby or Shana. Yeah. And he qualifies everywhere. So he just picked up outfit eligibility this week, by the way, just notice that one. It's like a six different position that is these eligible. So, um, outside of that, I don't have, I don't have anything. I'm not going to say a stereo. No, don't please don't. Um, it is a great week to start your Griffin, Konains. Jacob Marcy. Is that doing anything for you? Dude, he has been hitting very well. Yes, it does. I would, yeah, I kind of assumed he would still widely. Yeah. Uh, but it's worth noting, Jacob Marcy, is that came up in the discord today? And I will certainly be back. And again, next year, you're ready to be disappointed. Agreed. Uh, pitching side of things. It's pretty like, do you do the two-step junk? I probably don't.

1:07:49The Atlanta start might not be that bad, all things considered but I don't want to deal with that cup starts. So I really don't like any pitching for me. know what the deal is with Sandy? I mean, he got the save. He's fine. It was. It was his full day. It was his bullpen day and before the game because they've had so many openers and so many like the day before the like starter only went three innings. He walked into the clubhouse and said, I can pitch tonight if you'd rather have me do that. So I can told them fight out. So I'm kind of surprised team. So do that more. Well, yeah, it makes too much sense. If your ace is going to go through a 25 30 pitch bullpen, why don't you save him for late in the right? I mean, it's I guess it's a little higher intensity if you're going in the game, but maybe not that much different. I don't know. Creatures of habit, I guess. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I agree. It made sense and it worked out well this time around for him. But that is another question to have here with Pete Fairbanks. I would imagine going on the I.L. House call is. Is. Is. Is. Office open again. Are we going to shot a saves in this situation? Good. Get a good. Get a shot in the arm if you need saves

1:08:55with Calvin Foshe back in our lives for the last week of fact. Let's go to saves from the good doctor in the last week of the season. Book it. It's going to be glorious dog. I hate rooting for people's injuries, but the first thought when I saw Fairbanks coming out of our rotation of like we're back, baby. We're fast. We're ridiculous. But honestly, if you need saves like Foshe is is isn't ad. He is. He's on the list. I mean, everyone's on your damn list, but yes, I'm sure he's on your list. It's like Chris Cherrick goes list from the attitude area. But all right, let's go to the New York Metz, everybody. They have six games on the road this week. Three at Texas, three at Washington, four lefties and two righties for the Metz. Poor one out for Jared Young. That was nasty tonight. He's going to be going to touch an I.L. CT scan came back clean, but he's got concussion symptoms. So that announcement will come down on Friday, which means he's pretty much done for the season.

1:09:56Plus four lefties that wouldn't affect her. But just that was nasty. His own teammate, total accident, but McClein needing him in the dome. Remind of his UFC stuff I watched. Yeah, certainly just for Jared Young's sake that he's okay, but fantasy was is a drop. You know what that means though, right? I have a note down for Mr. Mark Vientos. Yes, he came straight in for the game and plus the four lefties like I know. Mark Vientos is in play next week. Mark Vientos is absolutely in play and and definitely, definitely for the lot we were talking with the beginning of the show these half weeks that last weekend against the Nats. You know, who knows what will actually be, but it may not even matter, right? Which aired young out. I mean, Vientos probably plays. So he is, I mean, I would say Vientos like is a legit corner infield ad this week. If you need power, he's one of the top ones we've discussed so far. Yeah, yeah. I like I'd play him over Christian Walker this week. I wouldn't argue with you. Full circle moment. My first big fab ad of 2026 was a

1:11:02Mark Vientos in the years. Everyone spent so much money on him to start the year dropped and they'll pick him up and he'll hit three jacks this week. Until last week, bring people to promise land. Like watch Ben did. Ben. Oh, that would be full circle. He's out. He's out of money. Never mind. He's been his last dollar in this past. That's right. That would have been something else right there. You'll pick up Vientos to finish it off. Other than that, I got nothing with the meds. Yeah, anything I'm pitching. No, I don't trust. Like a Jonah Tongue, I don't mind. I'll be honest. Jonah Tongue has looked much more improved. Jonah Tongue has much better. I feel like he was widely picked up this currently because he has the two step and 52% still not bad. Okay. So he's still out there. Jonah Tongue would face the nationals. That last week in the season. Exactly. So that's a nice matchup against what we're probably be a bullpen game. It's currently slated kind of late early, but you know, may not pitch very long. So yeah, Jonah Tongue, if he's still available, I like that a lot.

1:12:06Yep. And then other than that, just something to keep an eye on. David Williams, through a successful bullpen, they might activate him this weekend. They have not committed to him being in the closing role. They want to just get him work. We'll see how that goes, but I'd be really mad as single loses as gig. I think that's the like, I wouldn't drop Senka for Willie unless we get more news. But like if you have Senka, you need saves, you may want to add that 10th pitcher. Go at a cousin Rico or to get doctor or something like that. All right. The one that usually goes quickest every time. The Philadelphia Phillies. They have six games this week, all at home, three versus Milwaukee, three versus Tampa, one lefty and five righties. I mean, unless you have anything, this could be the 27th week in a row. I would be very curious. Maybe like painter during the season, like were there any good fab ads for the Phillies this season? Not really. No, like right out the gate, maybe marsh, but that was really early. It really hasn't

1:13:08been anything. Yeah. So thank you for the Phillies for giving us 29 week, 29 teams to cover. Yeah, they've been in the podries. It's been pretty sweet in that regard. Washington Nationals six games three at the Troy three versus the Metz two lefties and four righties for the Nats. Jacob Young is starting to play every day again. Did not start on Wednesday, but it started the previous at least five games before that. If you need steals, Jacob Young, I think is in play. Outside of that, I don't have much. Not neither do I. This first base glomeration is just pissing me off. Like please, it's pick one. Just pick one. I don't care. I wanted to be Morales works a party, both at bombs, but yeah, like they play a variety than silver, variety and flavors every lefty and silver. It's just like no rhyme reason and Abbey or T stinks right now. So yeah, that's that's the headache pitching inside

1:14:09of things. I think we talked about Jake Irvin on the Tuesday night show. Yeah. And I'm going to pull it up because Jake Irvin gets the Metz potentially. There's a lot that could be a lot of different things like they have will deon still in the rotation, currently earlys. There's a lot of moving to shake him. So I don't mind Jake Irvin a deep stream if you need him. Agreed. I want Riley Cornelio to work out just because the Corn Holyo nickname just writes itself. What we would do with that would be like I would actually put my shirt a little from here. Top of my head. And I'd probably do it, but I can't do it. Even though Cornelio is pitching very well, he's only pitching in two, three inning spurts. So not really much to do there. And then I'll shout out our boy B Welch once again. He mentioned Eric Talman and the chat the other day and he picked up a save on Tuesday. So it's a lot of moving parts. There's no set closer there, but Eric Talman has a win in the save in his last two outings. So does Jack Sinclair. But B Welch picked

1:15:12mentioned Eric Talman who could be someone to keep an eye on. Yeah. Better man than I. That's a good poll. Eric Talman and Jackson Claire, Jesus Christ. Yeah, save on Sunday. That's why I said they both have a save in the last two outings. I know. But yeah, no, if you're desperate for saves, sure. I would I would, I would do Talman over Sinclair, but yes, agreed. Yeah. Both, both interesting plays. I'll write them both down for now. The Chicago Cubs, they have six games this week, three at home versus Miami and then a head to Boston for three. That's pretty cool. You get rid of three and Fenway for three in the South. But this is where it gets good. It's three lefties and three righties. It's three righties against the Marlins, three lefties against Boston, if you're playing that kind of thing. Right. So you could do a desperation, can fordo for the first half of the week, but that's been pretty rough. Flip side of that, you could do a desperation match on. It's probably not even desperation.

1:16:14Matcha could be a decent ad for the final weekend of the season. I think matcha was good. They just don't play them. Yeah, I agree. Unless it's a lefty. So potentially, matcha, that final weekend against three lefties. The interesting thing is welcome back Dan's B Swanson on Friday. Oh, yeah, that's the highlight. He moves Nico Hornor to second and Patra Ramirez is looking for his position once again. Yeah, great pull. That's bearing the lead. That's a big one. Because I would think Swanson, he's gonna step back into short. Chevy is called the heartbeat of America for a reason with SUVs made to move with your rhythm.

1:19:23Yeah so make that happen but more importantly if you have Pedro Amara's drop I wouldn't expect to be playing every day folks. So yeah drop is definitely in the cards. Also flips I well match on D8s for the last left. You said I might keep him going. I think he'll play against left. He should. Pitching side of things. Anything for you because I don't really have anything pitching noise. I still don't mind David Peterson. Yeah no he's fine. It was picked up in probably a bunch of spots this currently because I believe it's a two step. Yes he gets Cincinnati this coming Sunday and then David Peterson would line up at Boston and who knows what that lineup will look like next Saturday. I do think David Peterson makes that start because they probably don't need him early in the playoffs. So you can still roll with David Peterson gets a ton of ground balls with Swanson coming back. It's already a good defensive infield. Yeah David Peterson. Yep I'm with you. He's 44% roster so get after it. Since 90 reds they're on the road for six.

1:20:26Three in Atlanta. Three in Toronto. Two teams trying to get in the postseason. One left in five varieties for the red. So you can probably go back to Hector Rodriguez who has lit giant goose egg this week as we expected with that those matchups. Yeah it's been rough for Hector Rodriguez but understandable right given the matchups. I do. It's terrible. It's bad. It's bad. So I don't know like Juan Brito's been hitting but it's just the reds have faced a ton of lefties lately and it's not going to work. I have nothing here man. I mean what about the Dane? Dane? He only faces lefty. He only faces lefty. He's a Carlos Jorge plays. Yeah he's not playing. Yeah you're right. So that's the problem. I mentioned Dane as an option for this past week. He's already got a home run but I don't know anything about Carlos Jorge so that's not happening for me. If you don't then I had two first names but you know is it though? No. To the rotation though another place that I want nothing to do with and the bullpen is really open. Agreed and agreed. Yeah I got nothing.

1:21:36Milwaukee Brewers they have six games three of Philadelphia three at home where St. Louis Brew Crew should have the one seat I don't wrap up by the St. Louis series we'll see but it's one lefty in five varieties for the Milwaukee Brewers. For the Brewers I don't have much. If healthy Garrett Mitchell has been hitting very well lately five varieties is very good for him. He's widely owned but start him. If the if healthy parts. If healthy. Yes. Outside of that I don't know. You have anything. If it takes hours if healthy as well please keep playing. Need you to keep playing please but he's been awesome. Yeah. I got nothing even on the rotation they're pretty much doing their thing. Kyle Harris and he's spelled again. Yeah I mean that's the thing I would add for the rotation is you can't roll Kyle Harrison out there. Oh I dropped them in 12 last week. It's it's really bad and Kyle Harrison is again this is it's 67% owned in 12 gamers like you can't you can't roll that out there. What do you I so Mizorowski like he's scheduled for Saturday.

1:22:42He'll pitch. You think he'll pitch because they'll play on the buy. Yeah you're right. Yeah you're right. How much really pitch I don't know but you don't help pitch. You're starting in your time. Say they'll throw three to five and you're going to take those ratios and strike out. Good point on the buy. If there wasn't a buy that'd be dicey but yeah. Yeah that's why even Logan Henderson's two step I think it's pretty locked in at least the first time for sure and at least a middle mediocre start the final one. Yep. Yeah business is usually I think from the walkie-mine is maybe limiting the enemies a bit but yeah you're good. All right let's get to the Pittsburgh Pirates six games three at home were St. Louis three at the Detroit Tigers one left you in five varieties for the pirates remember Ryan or her and came back this past week. Ryan or her and came back this week I actually grabbed him in a couple leagues for like a buck which who knows but I don't know I you mentioned Rafael Flores earlier as a second catcher. Yeah he's hitting again and most importantly playing pretty much every day between catcher and first base so you like that playing time bonus behind the dish it's five varieties so like kind of want to

1:23:49be interested in Spencer Horowitz but it has not come together for him yet. Same with the same with Mangum style some pretty rough you need steals I guess but yeah I got really nothing like so her. What about Ronnie Simon is back up and started the last two games right field if you need bags I don't know. Yeah I got called up for the injured as Merlin Valdez. Simon yeah if you need bags I guess like he's not bad it's just really nothing comes with it at all so Simon says maybe Simon says likely no for me on that one. Now the rotation is an utter disaster so just kind of roll out your channel or roll out your Jones I guess roll out your screens other than that I probably stay far far away. Yeah and just know Jones is Jared Jones has lined up for a two step I doubt that Sunday start is very long but you still get Jared Jones for them on day start and then yes since we just found out the first names of Mr Curtis and Mr Kelly they are not options. No for rotation.

1:24:57All right St. Louis Cardinals six games on the road three at Pittsburgh three at Milwaukee one lefty and five varieties for the Cardinals. Did you weather hold this back? Kind of he's widely owned yeah kind of but let off on Wednesday so you guess get him back in your lineups. Going to church again last week of the season. Yeah church. One of the best players in Baylor right now we're going to church. So JC's coming with him. We're here at party. They're both playing well and Leo Bernal is still just 38% roster folks so you can fix that way right. There's just a lot of good second catcher options available and 12 teamers just because I mean people haven't been making moves so yeah definitely like the Nathan Church call especially five varieties pretty easy schedule for Pittsburgh the rest of the way so I like that. Yep you can roll with that pitching side of things. The Quinn Matthews thing has worked out extremely well. Of late. Loot as you have this week you get Milwaukee that might be that's trickier. I'm not in

1:26:04love with it. Just gonna be honest but not in love with it. Yeah I'm not really liking most of these like Pellantes two step if you're feeling frisky but that's about it pitching wise for St. Louis. I'll throw a liberator out there stubbornly. Yeah gets gets gets Pittsburgh who's just not good against lefties and it could line up against Christian Curtis so you've got wind potential there. The liberator has not pitched well over his last few outings but the skills have been there. I for me he's a honestly just he's a decent streamer the last week. I'll trust the skills. Yeah the skills suggest yes there is also the last month suggests no but I agree I mean it's a tricky it's a tricky I'm not disagreeing with it. Yeah it's frustrating because even the Giants found a way to be a pain in the end so it's just funny how this works. All right Arizona Diamondback so by the way Riley Riley O'Brien Ouch this is the best way I'll say that he's getting his chances it's like one save and like two blown saves every week right now feels like

1:27:06so a lot of blown save that what 30 somewhat saves like eight blown saves yeah it's he's one of the he's got like the most blown saves and most I mean something crazy some weird step all right debacks on the road for six three encours where they face one lefty and two righties and cures then three at San Diego it's a total of two lefties and four righties on the week for the Diamondbacks. Yeah who I guess he's signed his new Sanchez but like maybe Sanchez has been terrible man I don't think you can do anything there. Pave and Smith maybe um is Lars Newbar still in play or is that ship sailed? Oh verse verse the righties it's in play and yeah having those games in cures that's a great at least for the first half of the guide roll them out there I'm not even opposed like right now Casey Mayes hasn't been much nice still I don't even believe Musgrove makes that start so yeah Lars Newbar still very much employer. Yeah I like it. I'm more meant in play just because it's everyone starting him now but maybe no. Oh by bad I didn't check that part out I was just answering your question.

1:28:09Ace of 46% roster and so it's so pretty widely available in 12s. Yep. So yeah the Newt is in play other than that there's not much like you mentioned Sanchez Pave and Smith got called back up I'm not doing that I will say Jordan Lawler starting to play a little more regularly why my Walshmit is not playing at all that he's taking Walshmit's time so if you're rostering Walshmit still you can drop him and if Lawler is hanging around might be worth it especially the cures in play and as the Diamondbacks playoff hopes dwindle which it looks like it is why not play Jordan Lawler over the last week of the season like just get him some reps man. Yeah I really hope like the podry is maybe lose a couple here and the Diamondbacks sleep their Rockies at least the first couple games in that final series have something to play for the BnB at least entertain you. Yeah pitching wise though Corbin Burns he got to 4-2 thirds in

1:29:10in his last star it wasn't horrible Corbin Burns would get the podry's next weekend in any interest there. Yeah this is the fact that he went 4-2 thirds at least gives you some hope for a win the problem is like well I don't know if you're the Diamondbacks like when to just when you want to throw burns at last start and yeah 100 minutes you want to you want to yeah I don't think it makes much sense to shut him down like even if there's nothing to play for like I think you want him to pitch so yeah Corbin Burns for me is is certainly a viable option I just feel like he he was like over added a couple weeks ago and I mean he's still only 31% on in 12 teamers but I just think folks didn't really realize the short outings with burns but I just chance to go 5 now so yeah I'd be interested. I'm just more concerned about like the hottest offense in baseball that's that's my concern yeah details Bubba. Yeah and then just for people

1:30:12noticing it could be just like we talking in my urine shocker. Sriroka scheduled for 2 but him and Gallon have been going back and forth and piggyback rolls so yes if it's Sriroka full go we find that out you got at Colorado at San Diego that's interesting but not love and Gallon is no go no matter what yeah yeah not touching Gallon at all all right Colorado Rockies they start with those three encuars versus the Dbacks one left you in two righties and they go to the white socks for three two lefties and four righties for the week and some pretty nice matchups but it's the Colorado Rockies right and so like I don't know who the hell do you add I mean we like Cal Caros last week we liked Amador last week those are still I would I would imagine Amador is still 21 widely widely available so there you go um potentially have backups and we've named it a lot of second catchers but 100 goodman's banged up missed the last three games much to your chagrin just keep an eye on that uh the last week of the season no no impetus to risk anything with 100 goodman if you're

1:31:17the Rockies no not at all so yeah it's Amador Carros and have a backup plan for goodman when it comes to the waiver wire and as we always say Ryan what do we say about the right the Rockies pitching well you're a Ryan Feltner fan now so dude against the white socks I'm not opposed to it to be totally honest because it's a road start road Rockies Jesus uh no we're not we're not doing it doing any Rockies well make sure my text what is when's Willie Castro coming back he's he coming back could that be I don't think he's back this week unless I've heard I've not unless I've missed something completely I thought he was out for the season I am then imagining things wouldn't be the first yeah he's out he's out for the season nevermind our IP mascot yeah he's he's done he was playing well though playing pretty pretty well all right let's get to the Los Angeles Dodgers because we have to six games three at home versus the pod race they finish the season with three

1:32:17and San Francisco one lefty five varieties first off Andy Pahez will be back for the potentially for some time next week uh Otani can be back for the weekend series against giants do with that what you wish uh Teosker is heating up yeah back in your lives nice nice locker room celebration today for the Doddress how the rat was front and center toasting some champagne making the speech 13 NL West for 14 years so that was all on on a cork or something that was that was good to see the rat uh do you see it's such a special human being um yes uh I don't have a whole lot just because I don't know how much pie is gonna play it I really want to get him back in the mix uh what's that do to the whole situation because Tommy Edmonds and center uh even though he's not that good right now there's a lot of moving parts there Kyle Tucker has been really good on the road not at home so yeah I

1:33:18don't really have a lot of ads Joe Sway to Paula was widely rostered this past week so not not much for me same pitching side anything of interest uh in the rotation we'll start with that um I don't think so unless you want to roll with Sasaki against potentially the Padres if he gets called up it's not the worst thing like I he should be pitching versus the Padres next week but um we thought to be back this week so I want to see it set in stone first Robleski was decent as an opener maybe we get she and back next week who knows like a lot of weird moving parts there with the Dodgers um Edwin Diaz is set to be activated but in a low leverage role so I would not get too excited for saves there yeah don't get excited there keep rolling out your Tanner Scott which is not been as uh no he isn't once once that dropped doesn't hurt me as much as I thought it would I know yeah you kind of got the best of Tanner Scott and avoided the worst got him for two bucks

1:34:19lived the dream and then dropped it like it's hot all right San Diego Padres six games three at the Dodgers three at home versus Arizona one lefty and five ratties for the always consistent San Diego Padres so cover boy of the show the YouTube thumbnail for this episode is Dustin Harris who is on fire lately hitting second running if you need steals Dustin Harris I would assume is widely available he's 14% owned in 12 teamers so Dustin Harris is us weird enough to say but a slam dunk ad hitting second in a offense that's on fire right now yep that's all I got because to tease Machado France Merrill they're all rostered so yeah it took 27 weeks for us to have a good fab ad for the Padres and there we go yep yep add him I like Ethan Salce he doesn't play enough so that's not gonna happen this year uh pitching side of things I'm still gonna be a walker beular stan that's just who I am but uh going up ad Arizona

1:35:22their verse Arizona don't hate it but not a must for me not a must um now I mean it's the same rotation so I don't know crazy my has been pretty shaky lately like I've been benching in some spots and I probably won't pull the trigger this last week either agreed all right Ryan go get a glass of water if you'd like uh the giant I'm out it's been a good year uh fab previews Baba I'll um see on the Tuesday show go ahead fun with your giants uh six games at home this week three against Minnesota three versus the Dodgers one left he and five right each for the giants just the the usual suspects if you haven't added Jonah Cox yet that is still one of the must-ad's Turner Hill and Deep Leagues you had a home run this past week if you want that and I'm a Christian cost who continues to play every day at shortstop uh Scott Bandura got called up hip-hop average let me finish he hit for a really good average and stole a ton of bags in the minors I'm not really in love with adding him but he's playing every day so like in 15s he will

1:36:25get out of this week not a priority for me but he's out there it's pretty much still Jonah Cox or bust but there's a few deeply streaming options anything on the hitting side Ryan that's it man yeah I've talked about this whole roster it's the same Oriental roster like last month no Drew Kavanaugh Nate Furman bread Harris come on they for me more in the they're more in the tank no do you want Shay Wickham you want that sure why not you don't want it you don't want any of them all right uh starting rotation Logan Webb might not even be pitching the rest of the year but what I will say bounce back for uh Molina which love to see that was big he gets Minnesota this week you can stream Molina and you can stream Pradomo against twins so they actually have two streaming options you shoot for five innings they got strikeout upside limit though the ratio damage so Molina and Cesar Pradomo are both streamable pitching options yes agreed on on both Pradomo and Anthony Molina if

1:37:27you had to pick for our listeners out there who would you prioritize I think I prioritize Pradomo as the lefty in that matchup yeah okay I like yeah I agree with that and then as I said the entire season stay away you just got to get it out one more time like what is Dylan Smith still doing I actually tweeted at the other day what he blew up there's like I'm like I understand times are tough I get it but like I should have said the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again like what are we doing here yeah really bad just really terrible and kudos to you it's been a good call all year to stay away from the Giants bullpen far far away all right sorry Burke she felt short-changed on that one yeah Burke stayed to the end for 20 minutes of Giants talk and he feels short-changed so give your money back for the show

1:38:29yeah the checks on the mailbox apologies but yeah that wraps up all 30 teams for the final time this year Ryan any final thoughts before we get let's see the list what do we got then how many names on this thing oh yeah three sheet three pit three lines three lines let me see that again three full lines yeah it's mainly all American League 2 like two the first two lanes are all American League yeah a last week I wrote up a Brady names in the fan preview so get after it folks all right two steps hoping that they stay two steps but most of them probably won't Arizona Diamondbacks Saroka at Colorado at San Diego no no Brady Basso no Jay Richie no assuming he's healthy enough Shane Baws versus Toronto at the Yankees with health yes yes I agree Jake Bennett vs Cleveland vs the Cubs definitely no in 12s I'm I'm leaning just know across the board the

1:39:31way he is pitch lately and the Cubs just crushed left these I'm hoping the Cubs won't be playing anybody that game but yes I agree yeah I have to play somebody yeah Gossman vs Miami at Boston he probably doesn't pitch that last I don't think he pitches the last game but you start Gossman anyway yep Andrew Abbott at Atlanta at Toronto no good matchups but it's Andrew Abbott so no foster the Griffin at Boston at Kansas City I can't do it if you're desperate in 15s I can see it still but outside of that no Anthony Kay at Kansas City vs Colorado for wins as we talk about for wins it's good because that's a great set of matchups apparently if this holds kind of my tarot vs Washington vs Pittsburgh right which may not hold but I probably still not do it anyway yeah Christian Javier is a yes we talked about that Daniel Lynch first the White

1:40:31Sucks vs Cleveland I'm a yes you're you were I'm not going to comment earlier yeah so I'm a no yeah it's I thought you say KQ we both like yeah Jansen Junk at the Cubs vs the Braves um no I don't think he's good Logan Henderson's a yes Sean Monaya at Texas at Washington yes that's a yes for me Max Fried vs Tampa vs Baltimore yeah yep Zach Wheeler won't make that last star Jared Jones you're gonna start but he might not make the last start Logan Gilbert vs Houston vs the Angels yeah yep uh guy did not talk about the Giants but he might have a two step and that's Blade Tidwell first Minnesota vs the Dodgers and cool man if you it's kind of like the Anthony Kay if you need win potential yes everything else terrifies me with him and he might not have any of those starts so correct and agreed yeah I don't think I'm doing it I'd probably well but if you have a waterfall of like

1:41:35you need wins for two steps he should be in it I'll say that but like I'd rather Anthony Kay yes for wins Tidwell be farther down my waterfall the most that we've discussed but he'd be in the waterfall just I want to see some of your waterfalls this weekend it's gonna be disgusting like because I have to like I yeah I don't want to get into it right now um and Andre Palante at pit at Milwaukee oh god he's oddly pitched well in a second half I could see it in 15s I do it in a 15 McKenzie Gore vs the Metz at Minnesota yeah I'd probably do it whip whip risk for sure but massive whip risk like my thing is if you're gonna do Gore you might as well do Jake Bennett and that's a fair argument yeah uh Mac sure is a rap Baltimore vs Cincinnati I think he's gonna make both starts and potentially pitch well and pitch deep into the second game so for

1:42:36those reasons yeah agreed all right a couple of listener questions here in the youtube cone queso says down in points with three days left Ryan Watson or Sean Burke assuming that opener I go Burke I probably yeah if he's behind the opener Burke has pitched a little well lately a little bit better lately as I start or two see I'd probably lean Burke but honestly both decent options yeah yeah uh and then from the discord here the you guys had a full fledged conversation about me and the giants so we did oh yeah this is where it all took place oh that's wrong oh my yeah so first Keegan asked about his legal to drop sit my entire team he's joking that's where Welch set or Welch mentioned that where where did Welch mentioned that at he's interventioned it somewhere about the opportunity oh yeah that is that is what brought up the yeah it's okay it takes either zero yes if you're protecting ratios and that desperate for county stats

1:43:39it's not crazy to take zeros and Welch is uh in the top five in the DCs where he probably has zeros he can put in the rotation um mailman Mike says just curious if either one of you have any good final week scenarios where you came out victorious and or came up short it's crazy how these leagues come down to the final oh yeah have it all the time I'm I might have some for you next Sunday as a matter of yeah my favorite one is I won the the first year of the roto wire dynasty invitational on the last day of the season because Robbie Ray gave up a fly ball that an outfielder lost in the sun so it was earn runs and my opponent had Robbie Ray and I won the league because of that yeah I don't know the exact scenario for the first year that I was in town wars as I met new innings pitched league or whatever and I tied for first because of a late home run to have he was anti-barons and barons won the tiebreaker to win the league because of that that was that was cool yeah fantastic uh real quick back to the just to confuse you even more Chikini so do we think

1:44:45Christopher i Sanchez I believe Christopher Sanchez pitches next week he's lined up for this Sunday I think Christopher Sanchez pitches next earlier yeah yeah earlier in the week well no he's Saturday isn't he he's no day I don't know when the alley pitches let me pull it up I got it right here uh according to roto wire Christopher Sanchez is scheduled for Saturday which he'll he'll I don't know man I think he may pitch I hope pitch I just don't know if he goes five I could see them moving the rotation around him pitching like Wednesday or Thursday for like three or four days yeah I wouldn't count on a win next weekend yeah uh Dustin Anderson says what are you guys looking at prior to line-up lock to make your best guess on how playing time would play out this week or is it just a crap shoot it's it's a crap shoot especially the pitchers because we just won't know we won't know when and how long pitchers next weekend are gonna pitch so especially the weekend pitchers it's a crap shoot the way to mitigate that is just you have to look at the teams they're playing on and make an

1:45:48educated guess as to are they still playing for something in the weekend yep I just want to shout out to you versus yo says I like the state for the record that I picked up Jonah Cox after Bubba talked about him and he's been awesome so yeah yeah my my diet drives to help um do you know that is that is blatantly incorrect but what is it I'm not I'm not gonna out is real name but uh I just got the hand there is no I don't know how you get a verse yo when there's no eye between the S and the O yeah stop uh Dustin Anderson says you know you could do a deep time on the relevant manor is pretty sure they'll be playing a bunch of gibbonies next they already are so even the relevant ones oh god all right and it just goes on and on yeah bandura drew Kavanaugh it's all Nate Furman this is we look there are literally probably about 20 messages in the show questions and I think only two are questions yeah where you are you wrapped them up we finished them

1:46:54that's great that and that means we're gonna wrap up our final fab preview of the season so final thoughts Ryan before we head out of here on this Thursday evening uh no best of luck with the fab moves Bubba's fab column will be out what usually Saturday night that's the goal Sunday morning weekly planner will be updated throughout the weekend and refreshed with the latest probables from fan graphs and uh hit us up in the discord with any questions will be around yep we will help you the best we can and um there's just two lineup blocks after that and it's all she wrote folks so right we'll be back with you guys Tuesday with a special non bloom board edition of Bubba in the bloom on Tuesday and then we'll think of something for you on Thursday it'll be pre-recorded just gonna throw that out there now because Bubba's getting away for a few days but uh we'll get you guys covered and ready to roll for the final week of the season but until then check out Ryan on twitter at ryan bhq the podcast at Bubba bloom pod on patreon a patreon a comeback slash Bubba bloom I'm at bdentrick this was Bubba in a bloom episode 383 catch you
